Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Arrogant and doesn't listen
Staff there is great, this Doctor is not. I don't believe he listens or really cares. He's very arrogant with no bedside manner. I tried to tell him how horrible I was feeling and he didn't really care. It was like, oh well, you're sick so you should feel bad. I needed understanding not to be chastised. Empathy not there. Now I have to search for a new Doctor in the middle of my treatment. Look, I understand talking to sick people all day sucks, but imagine being the one who is sick and scared the might have a stroke or die. It's really scary.

Outstanding Cardiologist
Appointment, labs and tests were carefully orchestrated. Dr. Hu was knowledgeable about my records, bypass and stint history. He was able to diagnose an issue of pain I thought at first was arthritic as a reaction to statins. He was able to get authorization for an alternative state of the art cholesterol medication within a day that not only lowered my cholesterol, but eliminated the pain in my joint and muscles. He is patient, explains tests, asks critical questions and has an exceptional knowledge of cardiology, current research, and an ability to apply it to maximizing patient care. I am healthier and living a pain free, active life because of him.

I will never go back to this doctor. I had a test that was order by the doctor. It took me over one month to get the results back. If I wouldn't of called, I would of never gotten the results. Instead of admitting they made a mistake, the doctor and his staff tried to blame the ECHO lab. What if this would of been life threatening? Look for another doctor.
